"We are essentially stardust." Everyone remembers the importance of carbon from high school chemistry, but this documentary gives a whole new dimension to one of the basic chemical elements. In the film, carbon as both creator and destroyer takes on a physical, albeit invisible, form and presents itself in all its beauty and power. I was intrigued by the way in which the experts spoke about carbon, because their talks were entertaining, but also informative and erudite. This is how I imagine a perfectly fine example of a popular educational documentary - from a playful and entertaining level that can appeal to a wide audience, it moves into more serious and dense waters with a visible ecological overlay. Carbon was here before us and will be here after us, but we shouldn't take our existence for granted.
